Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 881 - 881 841 Head-On Collision

881: Chapter 841: Head-On Collision 881: Chapter 841: Head-On Collision Nangong Shang’s legs went weak, and he staggered backwards a few steps, almost collapsing into the chair.

He looked at the servant who had come to report the news and asked again, “Are you sure it was Lu Chuan you saw?”

“Absolutely, young master, we should hurry and leave, we can’t stay here any longer!”

Nangong Shang quickly got up, anxiously saying, “Yes, let’s hurry, we can’t stay here any longer, we must leave immediately, we can’t let him find me!”

“Master, let’s use the back door, the front door is definitely not an option anymore!”

“Go!

We can’t wait any longer, hurry up and go!”

Nangong Shang suppressed his fear and hastily got up to leave.

Next to him, Ning Changyuan, who was sitting in the chair, looked at Nangong Shang with confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.

“Have… have you encountered some trouble?

Is there anyone in Beihe City that the Nangong family can’t deal with?”

He was genuinely puzzled, as the Nangong family, in Beihe City, were like emperors.

They practically commanded rain and summoned wind, getting any resource or seizing any business they wanted with ease.

He had never imagined that a day would come when a figure would cause Nangong Shang, the chief steward of the Nangong family, to be afraid.

Nangong Shang turned around and glared at Ning Changyuan, scolding loudly, “Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t!

Let’s call it day with the business discussions.

I’ll deal with your Ning family later!”

Hearing this, Ning Changyuan was immediately frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to plead, “Brother Shang, why?

We haven’t done anything, just came to talk business, there’s no need to trouble us, is there?”

“We’ll drop this business deal if it’s too much trouble, we’ll go back now, no more discussions, alright?”

He was completely terrified, anxiously looking at Nangong Shang.

“I’m asking you, why did that guy come chasing here right after I got here?”

“Who… who are you talking about?” Ning Changyuan, completely baffled, responded, staring blankly at Nangong Shang.

Nangong Shang stepped forward, grabbed him by the neck, and shouted, “Are you playing dumb with me?”

Seeing the furious demeanor of Nangong Shang, Ning Changyuan was so scared that his whole body couldn’t stop trembling.

He looked at Nangong Shang fearfully and quickly begged for mercy, “I truly don’t know, please spare me, I have nothing to do with this, I shouldn’t have come out to discuss business with you today, it’s my fault.”

He hastily pleaded for mercy, hoping that Nangong Shang would let him go, knowing that as the chief steward of the Nangong family, his status and power were extraordinary.

If Nangong Shang wanted to kill him, it really would be as simple as lifting a finger.

His Ning family absolutely couldn’t stand up against the Nangong family.

Nangong Shang raised his hand, grabbed Ning Changyuan by the neck, and lifted him up.

The rest of the Ning family members who had come along quickly stepped forward and knelt down before Nangong Shang.

“Lord Nangong, please spare us, we really have nothing to do with this, we are innocent!”

The servant from the Nangong family walked up to Nangong Shang and whispered, “Master, we should go, if we don’t leave now, we’ll run into that guy.”

“If that bastard decides to make a move, our chances are slim.”

Nangong Shang gritted his teeth and glared at Ning Changyuan in front of him.

Ning Changyuan, with Nangong Shang’s hand around his neck, was struggling to breathe, his face turning purple, and he was whimpering something, but it was inaudible.

“I’ll kill this bastard first, this guy definitely has malicious intentions!”

Crack!!!

Nangong Shang twisted his wrist and forcefully snapped Ning Changyuan’s neck.

Then, like throwing away trash, he tossed Ning Changyuan’s corpse to the side and threw it onto the ground.

Upon seeing this, the Ning family members immediately began crying and ran towards the body, surrounding it and beginning to cry sorrowfully.

Nangong Shang didn’t dare delay any further and hurriedly prepared to leave.

The Ning family’s cries of grief he chose to completely ignore, quickly walking downstairs.

Behind him, the Nangong family’s caretaker hurriedly followed, staying by Nangong Shang’s side and anxiously reminded him, “We were delayed a bit earlier, and that guy is almost here, we must move quickly!”

The two rushed down the stairs.

But just at this moment, within the lobby of Ten Thousand Cranes Tower, Lu Chuan’s figure had already walked in, with Dongfang Cheng following close behind, one in front and the other behind, entering Ten Thousand Cranes Tower.

Seeing this while descending the stairs, Nangong Shang immediately paused his steps, froze on the spot, and anxiously watched Lu Chuan.

“Nangong Shang, so you are Nangong Shang, right?

It seems I’ve arrived just at the right time, you are indeed discussing business here at noon.”

Lu Chuan walked forward smilingly.

Nangong Shang, looking vigilant, asked Lu Chuan, “What do you want to do?”

“You should know why I am here, right?”

Lu Chuan stared at Nangong Shang, hands clasped behind his back, remaining poised.

Seeing this, other people in Ten Thousand Cranes Tower couldn’t help but become curious; the standoff between these two men looked very serious.

The bystanders around also became nervous, after all, standing on the steps was Beihe City’s important figure, the widely recognized Chief Steward of the Nangong family, Nangong Shang.

“What should I know?

You’re here to discuss business, right?

But unfortunately, I’ve just finished a business deal, if you want to discuss, queue up for tomorrow.”

He said nonchalantly, forcing himself to appear composed.

Behind him, the Nangong family’s caretaker was nearly frightened out of his wits, very nervously watching the two face-off.

As the Nangong family’s caretaker, he was the first to learn detailed information about Lu Chuan.

So he knew deeply that facing Lu Chuan now was like facing a ferocious tiger on the hunt, those seemingly calm eyes were already filled with a hunting predator’s murderous intent.

At this moment, Nangong Shang was still unaware of the danger he was in.

Although he knew Lu Chuan was powerful, he was full of confidence.

He had been the local tyrant of Beihe City for many years, backed by the immense power of the Nangong family; he could almost do whatever he wanted.

Family of nobility, descendants of prestigious clans, even the top sects that stand out among the best, he would disregard them all.

Thus, his arrogant demeanor facing Lu Chuan didn’t waver in the slightest.

He slowly walked down the stairs, looking at Lu Chuan, and let out a disdainful laugh.

“Lu Chuan, you should know whose territory you are causing trouble in.”

“This Beihe City is the Nangong family’s territory, I am the Chief Steward of the Nangong family, by causing me trouble, you are making an enemy of the Nangong family.”

The onlooking crowd became increasingly nervous, they were the ones who knew the strength of the Nangong family the best.

So, they all watched Lu Chuan with great anxiety.

In their eyes, Lu Chuan was the challenger, whether or not he could break the dominant power of the Nangong family would be seen today.
